URLs and accented letters

The article says that accented letters are invalid in URLs. Does that refer to the country code or the whole. I don't think it's invalid, see http://síminn.is. -- Stefán Örvarr Sigmundsson 13:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC) reply

ISNIC supports IDN domains (International Domain Names) which are encoded in PUNYCODE. You can use all of the Icelandic characters. Actually, any IDN domain name will be ASCII only in the domain name system and it's up to the application (web browser, e-mail application) to handle the conversion. In PUNYCODE the domain síminn.is is presented as xn--sminn-zsa.is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.190.119.127 ( talk) 12:42, 22 March 2009 (UTC) reply
